## Summary

Northumberland County Council bought the supply and delivery of smoke detectors, detectors for people who are hard of hearing and associated equipment for its Home Fire Safety Check programme. The equipment is intended for installation at domestic premises across Northumberland. This is a goods procurement for fire-detection equipment (CPV 31625100).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Fireblitz Extinguisher Limited (trading as firehawk alarms) on 10 September 2026. The awarded value is £90,000. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 May 2029. The council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 12:00. The stated requirement is for the programme as a whole; no separate lots or award evaluation criteria are described.

For suppliers of domestic smoke alarms and equipment for people who are hard of hearing, this award demonstrates a defined council requirement combining product supply with delivery for a home fire-safety programme. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide suitable fire-detection products and reliably fulfil delivery across domestic locations throughout Northumberland. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller suppliers and mission-led organisations could be relevant competitors. The work is a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking similar council business would benefit from access to the relevant framework and the capacity to meet a geographically dispersed household programme.
